Spiaggia di Masua is a small but stunning beach located near Fontanamare, known for its famous natural monument, the Pan di Zucchero Islet. The area was once a thriving mining center and still offers attractions related to its mining heritage, including guided tours of the mines at Masua and Monteponi. Visitors can also explore the mining museum in town and the Machinery Museum in Iglesias.
Very pleasant little sandy beach with a stunning view and warm water. There are some ciosc restaurants and beach service which offers also boat trips to see the rock Pan di Zucchero little closer and the Porto Flavia which is constructed in the rock and can be seen only from the sea

Our hotel told us to get a bus to madua beach. So we did. But the bus dropped us off 25 minutes away, we had to walk down the mountain but once there the beach was nice, but very choppy!
Had a nightmare getting back to the bus stop!
Wouldn't recommend unless you get a taxi or drive!
so beautiful spot
Small but very pretty beach. A great way to refresh a little bit in the hot Sarrdinian summer, maybe before visiting Porto Flavia! On the beach there is also a bar/restaurant and there is plenty of parking around the area (both for cars and caravans). Definitely reccomended for a short break or a full day at the beach.
Great beach. Not too busy. Can pay for sun lounger and umbrellas. Sand was really hot. There are toilets, but you have to pay. Water wasn’t too deep, quite clear. There was a little platform for people to jump off, but water looked shallow there.
Amazing place. Pictures, time on a sad. Relax
Best place where to admire a sunset.!the beach itself is small and maybe not too great but there is a good spot for jumps and snorkeling around all those rocks is the best.
Facilities are great. Comfortable loungers at a reasonable price with cost of very clean toilet and shower included. You get use of their towels. The water is so warm to swim in. Food and drink in the bar/restaurant is over priced and not the best quality.

Porto Flavia, a port built in 1925 into a cliff above the sea near Nebida in southwest Sardinia, is an impressive feat of mining engineering. It served as a loading dock for zinc and featured two tunnels connecting it to the nearby mine for efficient mineral transportation. Today, visitors can tour the site by appointment with a guide due to safety reasons. The port's dramatic location and stunning views make it a must-see attraction on the Iglesiente coast.
Interesting place with interesting history why it was build the way it was.
Great tour guide with fluent english explaining everything about the history of the place.
Henk S — Google review
The tour is actually about 40 minutes, 20 of which are waiting for another group to pass. Not much to see, but i love the idea of being inside one of the most interesting engineering sites. Also the lower level is inaccessible unfortunately.
Unusual: not a mine per se but the tunnel used to transport lead, zinc and silver from the mines to the ship (lady guide with the Bansky tattoo could be less sarcastic with her replies, otherwise it was a positive experience )
Porto Flavia is a unique and impressive site where history meets nature. The old mining port carved into the cliff offers stunning sea views and a fascinating story of engineering. A must-see for anyone visiting the area.
Interesting spot and part of Sardegna history. Also really beautiful views. The guide was very nice. I just would love to learn a bit more as information provided was very simple and I learnt more from AI after the trip
What an amazing place the history and the work that went into carving a bulk shipping and handling facility into the centre of mountain of rock. Well worth the effort to get here and check it out❤️
A bit expensive for what you are getting to visit. The site itself is unique but the tour was underwhelming. The guide seemed like they were reading off a script instead of being actually knowledgeable. It's worth the experience if you enjoy doing your own research.
You can park near to Porto Flavia. But notice it’s a dirt road.
The guided tour was very interesting. You walk through the tunnel and see how it was build. At the end you are standing in front of the sea and enjoy a beautiful view.

Cala Domestica is a stunning sandy beach nestled in a natural bay surrounded by rugged cliffs and dunes. It's known for its vibrant beach bar and excellent snorkeling opportunities. Situated between Masua and Cala Domestica, the area offers a chance to explore the coastal region with its white beaches, clear waters, and historic mining sites. The town of Iglesias, rich in mining and medieval tradition, is just 20 km away.
Simply beautiful. Small beach. Toilet and shower are not free. Bar by the beach selling sandwiches, salad, and drinks. Parking is €5 for all day. You can climb up to have amazing view of the cove. Will take your breath away.
Ariestia S — Google review
The place is almost Perfect, despite the sea was a little rough the day we went and there were jellyfish. Have enough parking and they charge you 5 euros for the day. Plenty of space in the sand and Great scenography for photos.
A remote and beautiful beach. The tower on the hill and the view from the route up there worth a little hike. You will need shoes for it though. Sadly, it's very littered around the ruins and caves, including toilet paper and human excrement among other things. If you visit, bring your own parasol, because they ask 30 euros for the two sunbeds and parasol for a day. The parking was 5€. I recommend Spiaggia di San Nicolo instead. The parking there was 2€ and the sunbeds with parasols were free. The infrastructure there is better too.
Very nice beach that has a suprise little beach next to it as well. The second one was more calm and with sandy entrance. Both has big rocks following the entrance.
We came on a saturday in August around 3pm.
I highly recommend checking the wind situation because it was super windy and had a red flag so it was not very possible to swim. Possible to get in to the water in close distance though.
Parking was 3 euros, they ask for cash.
Had a nice view on the parking around 6pm with goats on rocks!
The beach is nice but for me, it’s a tourist trap; there are far more beautiful beaches and authentic! In this one you have to pay 10€ for parking (depending on the hour), 1€ for using the bathroom, 1€ for the showers…The entrance beach bar is okay but expensive for the quality, plus they charge 15% extra.
Cala Domestica is great but the one next to it, Cala Longa is much better.
One of my newly discovered places, but definitely up there in the top 10. The water is amazing, colors weren't as great the day I've been, due to some rain the previous day, but they were still gorgeous, which goes to say how amazing they must be on a normal day of pure sun. If you go up the mountain on the left you can even get a pretty decent sunset in the evening. Really pretty place, if you've got the time and chance to travel all the way there, worth every second spent there, you get some amazing views there
One of the most beautiful beaches on Sardegna. It's easy to manage, there is a car park near the entry to the beach. Car park is free (October 2020) there is bar but when we were sightseeing it was closed.
As far as I know, there are two options to reach the beach: by car and by feet through the mountain track.
Amazing place, totally 'must see'!

Grotta di Santa Barbara
4.7
(1318)
Grotta di Santa Barbara is a natural wonder discovered in 1952 within the San Giovanni Mine. The cave boasts stunning barite crystals, ceroid limestone, and formations dating back 500 million years. Visitors are captivated by the breathtaking stalagmite and stalactite formations. Tours include a train ride into the mine, an elevator ascent to an upper level, and access to the magnificent cave. The experience is enhanced by informative guides who provide insight into this unique geological site.
We really enjoyed our guided tour of the Grotta di Santa Barbara.
The tour guide was very friendly and open to every question, which was then answered in a conclusive manner.
The tour we took was at 3.30 pm and bilingual in Italian and English. It took us overall a bit more than 60 minutes with a group of approximately 24 people and included: Ride into the mine via mine train, elevator ride (which was a bit cozy), taking the stairs up to the cave, looking around in the cave with a lot of explanations, time to take individual photos in the cave and then the way back out of the mine.
The cave itself is really beautiful and very astonishing to look at. Can recommend!
Robert F — Google review
Need booking online before as otherwise fully booked https://www.iglesiasturismo.it/en/plan-your-trip/tickets/
Was a nice experience to visit a mine in an electric train, using elevator to go down in mine and cave
This place is out of this world. Looks like an underground cathedral, made of alabaster columns, and topped with ivory pinnacles. There are stalactites and stalagmites everywhere, along with other formations. And, to top it off, an amazingly clear and turquoise lake sparkles at the bottom of the cave. Unbelievable...
Book in advance at tourist office. Step walk of 1 km up from bindua bus stop. Best of similar caves I have seen in Sardinia. Some superb rock formations. Guided tour is on Italian.
Very cool to ride the train into the mine and get to see a unique piece of geology, truly spectacular
What a surprise. Worth the visit.
Beautiful cave formations seen only in a few places. We had a very informative and interesting guide.
It was closed when we visited. Even though you see information around Monteponi and Iglesias that the Grotta is open

Ghost town
The Villaggio Minerario Asproni is an exceptional and captivating place where one can immerse themselves in the rich history of the people who once owned, operated, and toiled in the mines many years ago. This open-air museum offers a superior experience compared to conventional museums as it allows visitors to truly sense and understand the past. It is highly recommended to book a tour with Annalisa, who will guide you through this fascinating journey into the region's mining history.
Fantastic and interesting place. You can experience and feel the history of the people who owned, operated and worked in the mines many decades in the past. Better than any museum. Definitely book a tour with Annalisa!

It's closed currently, we hiked to then find out we couldn't visit.
We got a fantastic private tour by Annalisa and really enjoyed learning about the region’s mining history. The village is definitely worth a visit!
Very interesting old mine site. Well worth a visit.
Fascinating.

Absolute must visit place.
I’m still under effect. We went up there to see the sunset. The whole place is magical, the view the road there, everything.
Unfortunately we did not book a table so we just grabbed some drinks and waited for the sunset.
I’m kind of regretted not to have a dinner there.
Maybe next time.
Barnabás B — Google review
Don't go for the pizza there, don't expect kindness.
It has stunning views, but don't expect to eat well, the simple Margherita pizza was obsolete.
Get an aperitivo instead.
The staff is not all welcoming. While the waiter was kind and helped us (giving him the stars) with the order, the waitress was the opposite. Very rude and didn't even want to give us a table.
They added an extra spritz in the bill, but I just paid and left, didn't want to complain anymore.
Place is very nice with amazing view. It's worth to see and eat delicious pizza.
Phenomenal spot. Ignore all the low star reviews, they're full of crap. This place was so ideal. Amazing drinks, pizza is spectacular, and service is top knotch
Tried to book a table — they were full, fair enough. Asked if we could get a takeaway instead and were told no, something about “the space got the box,” which made no sense.
Then we watched at least four other people get takeaway with no problem. The only difference? They weren’t English. Felt like we were being treated differently for no good reason.
Went back in to ask for a contact number and the staff literally ran off to avoid us. They knew exactly what they were doing.
Won’t be going back.
Great pizza and beautiful view!! Would definitely return
Spectacular sunset view and great service. The place only serves pizza. Dessert - only ice cream.
Great spot for a very nice Pizza and Drinks. The view is absolutely spectacular.

(Translated by Google) I passed by today with my family and we stopped to try a different pizza since we don't live in Iglesias and I can say that the pizzas were excellent (compliments for the tomatoes!) and then we had a SANJI CHOCOLATE dessert that I and especially my daughter dematerialized
(Original)
Sono passato oggi con la mia famiglia e ci siamo fermati per provare una pizza diversa visto anche che non abitiamo ad Iglesias e posso dire che le Pizze sono state ottime (complimenti per i pomodori!) e poi abbiamo preso un dolce SANJI AL CIOCCOLATO che io e sopratutto mia figlia ha smaterializzato
(Translated by Google) The pizza (one of the best in Iglesias) and sandwiches are always excellent! The ingredients are definitely top-quality, and they're super fast and punctual in preparing orders. We've always had a great experience.
An important detail: they even cater to those like me who are lactose intolerant! Highly recommended.
(Original)
Pizza (una delle più buone di iglesias) e panini sempre ottimi! Materie prime sicuramente di prima scelta, super veloci e puntuali nella preparazione degli ordini, ci siamo sempre trovati benissimo.
Dettaglio da non sottovalutare: soddisfano le esigenze anche di chi come me è intollerante al lattosio! Super consigliato.
(Translated by Google) Terrible experience.
I had ordered two pulled pork sandwiches at 6:00 PM (opening time) and received confirmation that they would be reserved for me. If I order and get confirmation, I expect the product to be reserved.
At 9:15 PM, I showed up to pick it up and was told the pulled pork was out of stock, adding that "they were about to call me." But what time did they want to pick it up? I find it absurd that, despite my reservation, the meat was "out of stock": it makes me wonder if it was given to someone else, perhaps friends.
Furthermore, the replacement sandwiches weren't even ready, and I had to wait another 15 minutes, wasting my time. To make matters worse, the sandwich they served me stayed in my stomach all night, and I felt sick the next day.
Non-existent organization, lack of professionalism, and questionable quality. I won't be returning.
(Original)
Esperienza pessima.
Avevo prenotato alle 18 (orario apertura) due panini con pulled pork, ricevendo conferma che sarebbero stati messi da parte per me. Se prenoto ed ottengo conferma, mi aspetto che il prodotto venga riservato.
Alle 21:15 mi presento per il ritiro e mi dicono che il pulled pork era finito, aggiungendo che “stavano per chiamarmi”. Ma a che ora avrebbero voluto farlo? Trovo assurdo che, nonostante la mia prenotazione, la carne fosse “terminata”: viene spontaneo chiedersi se sia stata data ad altri, magari ad amici.
In più, i panini sostitutivi non erano nemmeno pronti e ho dovuto aspettare altri 15 minuti, facendomi perdere tempo. Come se non bastasse, il panino che mi hanno servito mi è rimasto sullo stomaco tutta la notte e il giorno dopo non stavo bene.
Organizzazione inesistente, poca serietà e qualità discutibile. Non tornerò.
(Translated by Google) The quantity of pizzas and sandwiches is not lacking, as well as the practically excellent quality. The guys who work inside are all kind and professional. By far one of the best pizzerias/sandwich shops in all of Iglesias.

(Translated by Google) I was passing through Iglesias on my way back from the sea and my boyfriend was attracted by the evocative name of manga. We were looking for a quick bite but we found everything excellent and I wanted to leave a review, unfortunately with only one photo because the priority was to ingest. We took a margherita pizza, with well-leavened and digestible dough, which doesn't leave you thirsty; a Nonna Caterina sandwich, with very tasty and aromatic meatballs, the fried culurgiones with truly delicious pecorino cream, also surprisingly light. The fries, served with artisanal mayonnaise and ketchup, are fried in their skins. Very low price with quick and friendly service from the guys, all young and very kind. The only complaint I can have is against myself, for not living closer. Highly recommended.

Passavo per Iglesias di ritorno dal mare e il mio ragazzo è stato attirato dal nome evocativo di manga.

Abbiamo preso una pizza margherita, con impasto ben lievitato e digeribile, che non lascia sete; un panino Nonna Caterina, con le polpette gustosissime e aromatiche, i culurgiones fritti con la crema di pecorino davvero squisiti, anch’essi sorprendentemente leggeri. Le patatine, servite con maionese e ketchup artigianali, sono fritte con la buccia. Prezzo contenutissimo a fronte di un servizio svelto e cordiale da parte dei ragazzi, tutti giovani e gentilissimi. L’unica rimostranza che posso avere è nei miei confronti, per non abitare più vicino. Consigliatissimo.

Churches & Cathedrals
Nestled on the outskirts of Iglesias, the ancient church of Our Lady of Valverde stands as a testament to history, dating back to the late 13th century. This Gothic structure, while simple in its decor and furnishings, exudes a serene charm that draws visitors in. Adjacent to it lies a Franciscan convent from the 1600s, remnants of which can still be seen today alongside a well that once served its cloister.
(Translated by Google) The Church of Our Lady of Valverde, located on the southern outskirts of Iglesias, is a fine example of medieval religious architecture that combines Romanesque and Catalan Gothic elements. Built at the end of the 13th century, probably during the domination of the counts of Gherardesca, it originally stood outside the city walls, near one of the main access roads to the city.
The facade, made of pink trachyte ashlars, is divided into three orders by horizontal molded frames. The first order has a portal with a round arch, surmounted by a molded eyebrow and decorated with corbels representing a lily and a bear. The second order houses a Gothic mullioned window with polychrome stained glass windows, while the third is decorated with trefoil arches that follow the shape of the gable roof. The interior, with a single nave, underwent significant transformations in 1592: the original trussed roof was replaced by pointed diaphragm arches that support the wooden roof, and the quadrangular presbytery was covered with a star cross vault with pendulous gems. The central gem depicts the Madonna and Child, while the four smaller gems bear engravings with the name of the author of the work, Melchiorre Serra, the date of execution (1592), the name of the curator of the factory, Antioco Spada, and the monogram of Christ JHS.
The Church of Our Lady of Valverde represents an important historical and artistic heritage of Iglesias, testifying to the cultural and spiritual richness of the city.
(Original)
La Chiesa di Nostra Signora di Valverde, situata nella periferia sud di Iglesias, è un pregevole esempio di architettura religiosa medievale che unisce elementi romanici e gotici catalani. Edificata alla fine del XIII secolo, probabilmente durante la dominazione dei conti della Gherardesca, sorgeva originariamente al di fuori delle mura cittadine, vicino a una delle principali vie d'accesso alla città.
La facciata, realizzata in conci di trachite rosa, è suddivisa in tre ordini da cornici orizzontali modanate. Il primo ordine presenta un portale con arco a tutto sesto, sormontato da un sopracciglio modanato e decorato con peducci rappresentanti un giglio e un orso. Il secondo ordine ospita una bifora gotica con vetrate policrome, mentre il terzo è decorato con archetti trilobati che seguono l'andamento del tetto a capanna.L'interno, a navata unica, ha subito significative trasformazioni nel 1592: l'originaria copertura a capriate è stata sostituita da archi diaframma a sesto acuto che sostengono il tetto ligneo, e il presbiterio quadrangolare è stato coperto con una volta a crociera stellare con gemme pendule. La gemma centrale raffigura la Madonna col Bambino, mentre le quattro gemme minori recano incisioni con il nome dell'autore dell'opera, Melchiorre Serra, la data di esecuzione (1592), il nome del curatore della fabbrica, Antioco Spada, e il monogramma di Cristo JHS.
La Chiesa di Nostra Signora di Valverde rappresenta un importante patrimonio storico e artistico di Iglesias, testimoniando la ricchezza culturale e spirituale della città.

Old cappuccini Church. Sunday main service is at 10am.
(Translated by Google) The church of S. Maria di Valverde, in the Middle Ages extra muros along one of the access roads to Villa di Chiesa
for the Castle gate, still remains isolated today on the immediate outskirts of the city of Iglesias along the
old road to Cagliari. There is a lack of documentary information on the Gothic building, which can be dated to the end of the 13th century
century. Of the layout structures of the single-nave hall, rebuilt in 1592, only parts of the sides and the
facade, facing south-west. The former are built in clay bricks, with terminal arches in trachyte; The
semicircular arches have a ring carved with phytomorphic motifs. The facade is installed with cantons
medium-sized trachytics. From bottom to top, the corner pilasters are connected via the plinth
with molded shoe, two thin frames dividing into three orders and the arching parallel to the slopes of the
pediment. The portal has jambs and architrave woven into the wall facing, with flush capitals. The external profile
of the relief arch is riveted (also along the diameter) by a bullnose frame. In the middle order one opens
large ogival window with compensatory mullioned window. The eyebrow extends seamlessly into the
frame at the base of the pediment. Here the thin molded piers extend, concluded by trefoiled arches with
multiple bezel. (Sardinia Culture)
(Original)
La chiesa di S. Maria di Valverde, nel Medioevo extra muros lungo una delle vie di accesso a Villa di Chiesa
per la porta del Castello, si mantiene ancora oggi isolata all’immediata periferia della città di Iglesias lungo la
vecchia strada per Cagliari. Mancano notizie documentarie sulla fabbrica gotica, ascrivibile alla fine del XIII
secolo. Delle strutture d’impianto dell’aula mononavata, ricostruita nel 1592, restano tratti dei fianchi e la
facciata, rivolta a sudovest. I primi sono costruiti in mattoni laterizi, con archeggiature terminali in trachite; gli
archetti semicircolari hanno ghiera intagliata a motivi fitomorfi. La facciata è messa in opera con cantoni
trachitici di media pezzatura. Dal basso verso l’alto, le paraste d’angolo si raccordano mediante lo zoccolo
con scarpa modanata, due sottili cornici di tripartizione in ordini e l’archeggiatura parallela agli spioventi del
frontone. Il portale ha stipiti e architrave tessuti nel paramento murario, con capitelli a filo. Il profilo esterno
dell’arco di scarico è ribattuto (anche lungo il diametro) da cornice a toro. Nell’ordine mediano si apre una
larga finestra ogivale con bifora di risarcimento. Il sopracciglio si prolunga senza soluzione di continuità nella
cornice alla base del frontone. Qui si allungano i sottili piedritti modanati, conclusi da archetti trilobati con
ghiera multipla. (Sardegna Cultura)

Una delle più antiche chiese Iglesienti, costruita alla fine del Duecento poco dopo la cattedrale di Santa Chiara, risulta comunque molto semplice nei decori e nell'arredo interno. Adiacente sulla sinistra fu edificato secoli fa (#1600) un convento francescano, di cui restano alcuni edifici sul lato opposto ora ristrutturati dopo vari usi industriali, e il pozzo al centro di quello che era il suo chiostro.

Salvaterra Castle, also known as the castle of San Guantino, is a medieval fortress located on Salvaterra hill in Iglesias. It was likely built by Count Ugolino Della Gherardesca after 1258 and served a strategic role in overseeing the city and communicating with other castles in the Republic of Pisa's territories.
We really enjoyed the tour. The building wasn’t too impressive, the texts were all in Italian and we practically did not understand a word the guide was saying, but his infectious impeccable energy had us hooked. Also, we learned a new Italian word; Questo. Brilliant!
Gerald S — Google review
We went online to check the opening hours and drove 45 minutes from where we were to find it was closed.
That aside, the views from the top of the hill overlooking Iglesias were stunning.
Alas we could not enter the castle grounds itself as it was all closed up.
What a disappointment
The climb to the castle is sadly full of trash. The view is ok, but the castle itself is not really worth it imo.
Probably an interesting place, but closed and you can see nothing of the castle if you are outside the gates
Sunday afternoon was closed. One of few atracion in the City and closed 😂
Closed!
Ok
A nice hilltop castle (not open at the time) wirh nice views.

The Cathedral of Saint Claire of Assisi is a unique and harmonious blend of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, built between 1284 and 1288. The cathedral features a square bell tower with an intriguing bell cast by Andrea Pisano in 1337. Inside, the Gothic elements are evident, creating a beautiful and cool space due to natural air flow. Visitors should ensure modest dress before entering this historic site.
Many churches in this picturesque city of western Sardinia named “church” in Spanish. The Cathedral is of course the most impressive one. Many stories to tell about, history, architecture... It’s located right in the middle of the historical centre. With the city hall, they form a great gathering Piazza municipio.

(Translated by Google) The Cathedral of Santa Chiara, located in the heart of the historic center of Iglesias, is the main place of worship in the city and one of the most significant examples of medieval religious architecture in Sardinia. Built in the 13th century at the behest of the rulers of the Pisan dynasty, it was dedicated to Saint Clare of Assisi, patron saint of the city.
The building, initially in Gothic style, has undergone numerous interventions over the centuries, especially in the Baroque era, which have modified its original appearance. On the outside, the simple but elegant façade is striking, while the interior houses works of art, marble altars and precious liturgical furnishings. The chapel of the Blessed Sacrament is particularly evocative.
The Cathedral is still the center of the city's religious life today, home to solemn celebrations and events linked to the mining and cultural tradition of Iglesias.
A place that combines spirituality, art and history, telling the profound identity of the city.
(Original)
La Cattedrale di Santa Chiara, situata nel cuore del centro storico di Iglesias, è il principale luogo di culto della città e uno dei più significativi esempi di architettura religiosa medievale in Sardegna. Edificata nel XIII secolo per volere dei sovrani della dinastia pisana, fu dedicata a Santa Chiara d'Assisi, patrona della città.
L’edificio, inizialmente in stile gotico, ha subito numerosi interventi nel corso dei secoli, soprattutto in epoca barocca, che ne hanno modificato l’aspetto originario. All’esterno colpisce la facciata semplice ma elegante, mentre l’interno custodisce opere d’arte, altari marmorei e preziosi arredi liturgici. Particolarmente suggestiva è la cappella del Santissimo Sacramento.
La Cattedrale è ancora oggi centro della vita religiosa cittadina, sede di celebrazioni solenni e manifestazioni legate alla tradizione mineraria e culturale di Iglesias.
Un luogo che unisce spiritualità, arte e storia, raccontando l’identità profonda della città.

The Mineral Art and Mineralogy Museum, housed in the Istituto Minerario Asproni, is a must-visit to understand the city's mining history. The museum showcases minerals, fossils, and industrial archaeological finds in three large halls. Visitors can also explore the abandoned Monteponi Mine for a deeper insight into Sardinia's mining heritage. Additionally, the Salvaterra Castle offers a permanent exhibition on Medieval History and Torture for those interested in historical artifacts.
The museum is located in the very center, where free parking is quite difficult to find. That's why we chose the parking lot of the retail chain and with some luck found the entrance to the museum. The museum consists of three large halls, in which showcases with specimens of minerals, fossils and industrial archaeological finds are exhibited. The museum collection includes almost 3,800 mineralogical, petrographic and fossil finds from all over the world, enriched by a collection of around a hundred archaeological finds originating from mining activities, from the Nuragic, Phoenician-Punic, Roman, Pisan and Aragonese medieval periods.
A collection of finds that represents the identity of the Iglesiente area and brings together didactic, mineralogical and paleontological collections composed of local minerals and fossils and specimens from deposits spread over a regional, national and global territory. OK, it's "information from the web", so I'm not adding my own knowledge. Thanks for the info. Worth a visit. VERY, VERY, friendly staff!!!! Thank you for your engagement and effort. In any case, everything was OK. We recommend!!

A very interesting museum with a collection of 3800 mineralogical, petrographic, and fossil finds from around the world.
Great museum with an amazing collection of minerals. I particularly enjoyed the local mining history and all the different tools and machinery. The guide is only available in Italian.
Great stories , great guide , a good oportunity to learn! A must visit in iglesias! Will certainly come back with new people in my next visit in this city.
We had a fantastic guided tour.
The topic is fascinating and the collections of the museum are stunning.
The training tunnel is spot on!
We were also bewildered by the great mineral collection.
Recommended to fully understand the local history.
Well worth the visit. I would recommend this museum to anybody visiting Iglesias. Thanks again to our guide who opened the museum for us on New Year's Eve :)
Very interesting guided tour in Italian though I believe there is some provision in English to. Used to be a mining Scholl explained about mining industry locally
Francesco, one of the guides was extremely helpful and a mine of information. I recommend this museum 100% if you're visiting Sardinia

Nice location in the main square of the city, unfortunately the service is terrible and slow. I’ve been there twice. The first one I left after 15 mins the second one I had to wait forever for a cappuccino and there were only few guests!!!
Long wait before your order is ready. Nice place, though. Equipped with tv-sets to watch the matches.
Nice!
(Translated by Google) First time in this place with friends from neighboring areas, we are greeted by a kind and very nice waitress. On paper a decent choice between first and second courses but we opted for a pizza, I chose a seafood pizza and the surprise arrived after a short wait, as per the photo I attached, the pizza was very good and full of seafood, I concluded with a truly excellent homemade dessert. If you are in the Iglesias area I recommend a visit to this place, the prices are average

Prima volta in questo locale con amici di zone limitrofe, veniamo accolti da una cameriera gentile e molto simpatica. Sulla carta una discreta scelta tra primi e secondi ma optiamo per una pizza, ho scelto una pizza ai frutti di mare e la sorpresa arriva dopo poca attesa, come da foto che ho allegato la pizza era buonissima e strapiena di frutti di mare, ho concluso con un dessert della casa veramente ottimo. Se siete in zona Iglesias vi consiglio una visita in questo locale, i prezzi sono nella media

(Translated by Google) NEVER AGAIN! I DO NOT RECOMMEND this pizzeria. I had to write something about their New Year's Eve dinner. They were awful! We arrived before 9 pm, as requested, but our table was set for 9 people, too bad there were 13 of us. At first they blamed us, then they realized they hadn't written the reservation correctly. After 15 minutes, they managed to seat us... taking 4 seats away from other people who had already booked. Then, when the people at our table arrived, they sent them away. But it doesn't end there, after an hour of waiting for the aperitif, the waiter (a novice) arrives and dumps the entire contents of the tray (about ten full glasses) on a friend of mine, who was forced to go home to wash up and change from head to toe (underwear included). And what do the waiters do? They laugh. Are you kidding? I had to tell them to apologize, and that they were incompetent. And to top it all off, they brought us pizza at 11:45 PM, forgetting one. We left without even eating dessert or drinking sparkling wine. I'll just say one thing, which is more of a piece of advice: don't try your hand at running a restaurant if you're not capable of it. To each their own. Change jobs!
(Original)
MAI PIÙ! VI SCONSIGLIO questa pizzeria. Non potevo non scrivere qualcosa sulla cena di capodanno. Sono stati pessimi! Arriviamo prima delle 21 come da richiesta, ma il nostro tavolo era apparecchiato per 9 persone, peccato che noi fossimo in 13. All'inizio davano le colpe a noi, poi si son resi conto di non aver scritto bene la prenotazione. Dopo 15 minuti sono riusciti a farci accomodare....togliendo 4 posti ad altre persone che avevano già prenotato. Quindi, quando sono arrivati i commensali del nostro tavolo, li hanno mandati via. Ma non finisce qui, dopo un ora che aspettavamo l'aperitivo, arriva il cameriere (alle prime armi) e rovescia tutto il contenuto del vassoio ( circa dieci bicchieri pieni) addosso ad una mia amica, che si è vista costretta a rientrare a casa per lavarsi e cambiarsi gli indumenti da testa a piedi ( mutande comprese). E cosa fanno i camerieri? Ridono. Ma scherziamo? Ho dovuto dire io a loro di scusarsi, e che erano degli incompetenti. E per finire, ci hanno portato la pizza alle 23.45 dimenticandosi di una. Siamo andati via senza neanche mangiare il dolce e bere lo spumante. Dico solo una cosa, che vuole essere più un consiglio, non improvvisatevi ristoratori se non siete in grado di farlo. Ad ognuno il proprio mestiere. Cambiate Lavoro!

Birroteca Fermentazioni Spontanee is a gastropub in Iglesias that offers an excellent selection of draft and cold beers. The staff provides outstanding service, ensuring a memorable experience for customers. When visiting this location, make sure to try their black angus steak with bone for 17 Euros per 500g. It is incredibly tasty and has a good amount of fat, which adds to its appeal.
The most special eatery we visited in Sardinia. Not only the craft beer is developed with local farms/microbreweries but the burgers, buns, even the ice cream is made from scratch in their kitchen. You can feel the love put into what is being served. Wholeheartedly recommended. Amazing value.
Miguel C — Google review
Restaurant quite expensive and the food was not the best we had. I ordered tuna, and didn't have any veggie or side with it (I know that in Italia, you're supposed to order primary and secundi piati) for 22€, it was a bit disappointing.
Also, the "non pizza" my boyfriend had, was not the best quality we ate in Sardaigna, so we didn't understand the global rate of 4.7/5.
Been here multiple times, so tried a lot from the menu. From various meat and burgers to business lunch and sweets. Everything is of a great quality, always fresh and tasty
Steak with bone is black angus. 17 Euros for 500g. Very very taste and there is much fat, which I love. Very recommended.
There is no cola zero, only crafted cola, not so good. Just FYI :)
Good service but overpriced place. We payed 16€ for three too cold pretentious red prawns.
Who would thing that when ordering a caprese salad the tomate can be so green (unripe) that is white. Basically we couldn’t eat it. Really looking forward for a nice tomate salad in summer and the result was more than disappointing. The mozzarella was the same that you can find in any random supermarket, nothing special. Just overpriced for what you get. I would just recommend getting a beer and have dinner somewhere else.
Was good place,cooperative peoples, overall nice restaurant
The place is no longer serving hamburgers. Good steak but ravioli and pizza just so so…

Delicious 🤤🚀🍕 pizza & focaccia perfect on point and tasty
Great location for one of the best pizza lunches I've ever had, small, appears to be family owned and operated, super crust, reasona le prices, 6 of us ate very well, with wo e and beer for under 100euros
We visited here, it was super quiet on a rainy day. There were 4 of us, me, my partner and my parents. Not all of us were hungry but we wanted to sit down and enjoy the rainy atmosphere. 2 wanted a coffee and only one wanted pizza.
The man didn't speak a word of English which is fine, I don't expect anyone to speak English since we are the visitors. But I do feel like locals pick and choose when they want to communicate, especially since they face tourists on a daily basis being in a vacation spot... anyway. They weren't serving coffees at that time, even though they were on the menu he handed to us... fine. We ordered one pizza, he said no.. to which we were very confused. What we gathered from his very quickly speaking Italian was that we all order or you may leave.
No one was there except one couple, no one else. It was quiet, cold and rainy. I think he feared we would be taking away business since only one person was ordering pizza but it was so quiet... He basically shooed us away... He was an older man. We felt very unwelcome and his demeanour was unbelievably rude which makes me think race was at play here.
Pizza looks dry and mediocre, not sure why there's an option for chips on pizza, gross. So I think we lucked out from being disappointed anyway!
Avoid.
Foccacia was good, pizza not so much. The frozen fries in the pizza was a bit of an overkill for me, not much fan of the taste. Also theirs knives weren't strong enough to cut the pizza, so frustrating to try to eat
My children and I had three really tasty Pizzas here,
I found the husband and wife so kind and generous.
Highly recommended!
Great service, good pizzas
The owner welcomed us very friendly and made sure we were comfortably seated. The focaccia was very good with fresh ingredients. They also had an accessible toilet for wheelchairs which was perfect for my sister. We enjoyed it very much, thank you!

Cascata di Piscina Irgas is truly a natural gem that beckons adventurers to explore its stunning surroundings. The journey to this enchanting waterfall is not for the faint-hearted, as it involves navigating through wild terrain and rugged paths. However, every step taken is rewarded with breathtaking views of lush forests filled with charming waterfalls and serene pools.
We came in October, so the river was dried up 🙈
However, so interesting to walk in the bed of the mountain river. Also, it opened up a nice way to hike up the mountains around the waterfall. It was spectacular. We enjoyed it so much!

What a beautiful area. Pure Nature. We did >> Punta Piscina Irgas and Cascate di Muru Mannu << today. Yeahhhhh!!!
The gravel road is quite a challenge on the last few kilometers to the parking but it's worth it. If you drive slow it's no problem at all with any car.
Very nice hiking. I was afraid of animals, but it was really beautiful. Waterfall was without water, but hus lake is also very nice.

(Translated by Google) Villacidro - Punta Piscina Irgas (on the way to the Cascata di Piscina Irgas)
To reach this waterfall, it's best to drive from Villacidro past Lago di Leni, along the cork oak and pine forests.
It's best to park your vehicle at the Cantina Ferrais and take a leisurely walk along a stream. There, you'll repeatedly come across impressive pools of the "Piscina Irgas" – a beautiful landscape.
Unfortunately, we didn't reach the Cascata di Piscina Irgas that day, but it was impressive anyway!
In some places, there's little water.
(Original)
Villacidro - Punta Piscina Irgas (auf dem Weg zur Cascata di Piscina Irgas
Um zu diesem Wasserfall zu gelangen, fährt man von Villacidro am besten am Lago di Leni vorbei, entlang der Korkeichen- und Pinienwäldern.
Am besten stellt man sein Fahrzeug an der Cantina Ferrais ab und läuft entspannt eines Bachlaufes. Dort stößt man immer wieder auf beeindruckende Becken der "Piscina Irgas" - landschaftlich wunderschön .
Die Cascata di Piscina Irgas hatten wir an dem Tag leider nicht erreicht, war aber auch so beeindruckend !

I had an incredible time at Cantina Aru, where Enrico guided me through a delightful 3-hour experience. I had the opportunity to sample 5 wines and enjoy local cheese, bread, and sausage. The highlight was getting to taste wine during various fermentation processes. This vineyard boasts a charming museum and exceptional staff. Enrico and the passionate sales manager were always available to answer questions, even with the language barrier. If given the chance, I would definitely visit again!
Although we came by unannounced we got to taste a lot of their wines. We felt very welcome and bought some beautiful bottles. There is also a tradition farm you can visit. Thank you Mario!

Amazing experience sampling delicious wines paired with local cheese and salami. A must if you are a wine lover. The owner was very nice he gave us a tour of the winery. While tasting the wine he explained about the wine and the history of the locality. Will definitely visit again
What a grape escape! The winery was top-notch, and Enrico was the perfect pour-fection! He gave us a taste of the good life with his expert knowledge of the wines and grapes, making us feel like we were part of the wine-drinking elite!
Thanks from the the DC girl and the 2 UK girls!
I emailed Cantina Aru a few weeks before our visit and got a quick reply from Enrico helping to set up a visit for us. When we visited they were doing work on a new tasting space which we got to see in progress and will make a beautiful space to taste when it's finished. The tasting includes 5 wines and Enrico told us about the local producers where he picked up some cheese and salami to go with the wines. Everything was delicious and Enrico was very warm and welcoming. We took home 2 bottles and would have taken more if we had the space to travel with them!
Enrico is an absolute legend. We came in for wine tasting and he explained everything in so much detail (in English). We learnt so much about all the wines and history about the area which we didn’t know about.
Would highly recommend anyone to visit this little gem!
Highly recommend a trip to this vineyard! We notified the vineyard about our arrival a day in advance and they were very welcoming and happy to give us a free tour. We loved their hospitality and kindness. Enrico told us about the wine production and offered us 5 different wines together with some local produce to snack on. Not to mention that his English is fantastic! Thank you very much!!
It was great to visit this small local winery - we didn’t know the wines offered by this place so we were offered wine tasting in the nice surrounding. The white wine is delicious! Great quality for a reasonable price. Will be ideal as a present.
We had the most amazing experience with Enrico, who showed us Cantina Aru and their wines for about 3 hours. We tasted 5 wines, and some local cheese, bread and sausage, and at the end we even got to taste wine during 3 different fermentation processes. A beautiful vineyard with a nice little museum, amazing wines and the most amazing staff. Enrico was great, the sales manager was so passionate although speaking Italian he often came and answered questions that Enrico would translate. If we comeback we will visit again! Must try experience if you are in the area.

The beautiful beaches are also a short drive away, and the Cagliari - Elmas airport is conveniently close by. Guests can enjoy a pleasant stay with clean rooms, daily housekeeping, and a refreshing pool.
Really beautiful place to stay if you like calm places. Huge swimming pool and many other options for active vacation. 5+!

When you enter your room feels like 1980 at your grandmother's house.
The people in reception were not very friendly, I guess nobody likes working in August...
Completely different vibes from the family owned-5-room hotel we came from Tuerredda.
The beds are comfortable and there is a swimming pool so it isn't that bad after all.
I have been here twice and loved the hotel, food and drink prices are very very good and the staff were so friendly, I miss my friend Luca Pila very much, perfect base for exploring and the food is fantastic(pizza wow!) I will definitely return some day again.
I ve been with family for 14 days really nice place with breakfast ( more like italian breakfast with extras that means you get sweat things, juice, tea, coffe , yoghurt, cakes butter, jam, chocolate, flakes, fresh rolls ...itp s a lot but... things i missed in breakfast is tomatoes and scrambled eggs) nice clean room (cleaning every day including fresh towels), helpful and kind crew, clean pool, i really enjoyed my stay in hotel village... Nice location quiet and near to center of iglesias City... It s only 14 km From beatifull beach... 50 km to cagliari... So good point...
(Translated by Google) Very nice hotel located a little outside of Iglesias so that you have peace and quiet from the traffic. The room has its own flair and is well equipped, and the scenery is unbeatable. There is also a pool where you can relax. Overall, the service and the hotel were top and I recommend the hotel
(Original)
Sehr schönes Hotel liegt etwas außer halb von Iglesias so das man Ruhe vom Verkehr hat. Das Zimmer hat seinen eigenen Flair und ist gut ausgestattet, und landschaftlich unschlagbar. Ein Pool ist auch vorhanden an dem man auch mal entspannen kann. Insgesamt war der Service und das Hotel Top meine Empfehlung bekommt das Hotel
(Translated by Google) 3 star hotel in everything except the 5 star staff. Unfortunately during my stay I had little water in the room and few channels on the TV. Minimal breakfast. For the rest excellent food
(Original)
Hotel 3 stelle in tutto, tranne il personale 5 stelle. Purtroppo io nel mio soggiorno ho avuto poca acqua in camera e pochi canali in tv. Colazione minimale. Per il resto cibo ottimo
(Translated by Google) The main advantage of the hotel is undoubtedly the kindness of the people at the reception, helpful and very courteous. Excellent location of the structure, not far from the historic center. Our entire stay took place in the swimming pool, which is also accessible to external people who pay and who are not hotel guests.
(Original)
Il principale pregio dell'hotel è senza dubbio la gentilezza delle persone alla reception, disponibili e molto cortesi. Ottima posizione della struttura, poco distante dal centro storico. Tutta la nostra permanenze si è svolta nella piscina, che è accessibile anche a persone esterne che pagano e che non sono ospiti dell'hotel.
(Translated by Google) simple, but clean and welcoming. with a beautiful swimming pool and a rich breakfast in the morning. the only flaw is the mandatory return time of midnight, like Cinderella

Teatro Electra

Performing arts theater
Teatro Electra is a beautiful Liberty style theater located in the center of Iglesiente, making it of great historical value. Although the structure may not be entirely comfortable in terms of seating and usability, it has been restored and returned to the community for various cultural events. The theater offers good acoustics and acceptable visibility, although some have noted the lack of air conditioning as a downside.
Magic place
Ana S — Google review
(Translated by Google) Pity, pity, pity! Absurd arrangements (the only worthy seats in the first and second rows in the stalls). A riot of useless wrought iron, even difficult to reach your seat given the small space. Only the memories and the beauty of the square on which the building overlooks remain of the cinema theatre. To be torn down and redone....even reaching the bathrooms is a challenge. I said it all! For me, Electra has remained a place of my heart. But in Iglesias there was another splendid theater: the Olimpia. That too is a memory now. Too bad, too bad, too bad!
(Original)
Peccato peccato peccato! Sistemazioni assurde ( le uniche poltroncine degne prima e seconda fila in platea). Un tripudio di inutile ferro battuto, difficile anche raggiungere il proprio posto visto l'esiguo spazio. Del cine teatro rimangono solo i ricordi e la bellezza della piazza su cui si affaccia lo stabile. Da buttare giù e rifare .... è un' impresa anche raggiungere i bagni. Ho detto tutto! Per me l'Electra è rimasto un luogo del cuore. Ma ad Iglesias c'era un altro splendido teatro: l'Olimpia . Ormai un ricordo pure quello. Peccato, peccato peccato!
(Translated by Google) Beautiful show abridged version of Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata.
Heated and very nice theater.
The only discordant note is the railing, necessary for safety reasons, which makes it difficult to see the stage. You could have opted for glass or plexiglass.
(Original)
Bellissimo spettacolo versione ridotta del La Traviata di Giuseppe Verdi.
Teatro riscaldato e molto carino.
L'unica nota stonata è la ringhiera, necessaria per motivi di sicurezza, che rende difficoltosa la vista del palco. Si sarebbe potuto optare per vetro o plexiglass.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful historic theater in the historic center of the mining town of Iglesias. Better to reach it on foot by parking outside the Pisanev walls of Iglesias. In the small square in front there are many services and venues. They should also make better use of it for music with more innovative programming.
(Original)
Bellissimo teatro storico in pieno centro storico della città mineraria di iglesias. Meglio raggoungerlo a piedi parcheggiando fuori dalle mure pisanevdi Iglesias. Nella piazzetta antistante molti servizi e locali. Dovrebbero sfruttarlo meglio anche per la musica con una programmazione più innovativa.
(Translated by Google) Structure (former cinema) very interesting from a historical-architectural point of view, renovated and elegantly furnished but of limited usability both due to the modest number of seats and the non-optimal visibility enjoyed by some of them.
Given the location in the heart of the historic center, the possibility of parking nearby (and not only...) is close to zero.
(Original)
Struttura (ex cinema) molto interessante dal punto di vista storico - architettonico, ristrutturata ed elegantemente arredata ma di limitata fruibilità sia per modesto numero di posti, sia per la visibilità non ottimale godibile da una parte di essi.
Data la collocazione nel cuore del centro storico, la possibilità di parcheggio nelle vicinanze (e non solo...) è prossima allo Zero.
(Translated by Google) Very nice and comfortable theatre, a shame it isn't used more frequently but, it is closed for the rest of the year! Let's value it!
(Original)
Teatro molto bello e confortevole, un peccato che non venga utilizzato con più frequenza ma, è chiuso per il resto dell'anno! Valorizziamolo!
(Translated by Google) Beautiful structure even if not entirely comfortable from the point of view of usability and use of the seats. Valuable for the recovery of the old cinema even if it could be used more and used more continuously and assiduously
Good acoustics and acceptable visibility depending on assigned or available seats
(Original)
Bella struttura anche se non del tutto comoda dal punto di vista della fruibilità e dall'utilizzo delle sedute. Pregevole per il recupero del vecchio cinema anche se potrebbe essere usata maggiormente e utilizzata in maniera più continua ed assidua
Acustica buona e visibilità accettabile a seconda dei posti assegnati o disponibili
(Translated by Google) Liberty style theater in the center of Iglesiente, therefore of great historical value. Restored, it was returned to the community relatively recently and is a place where many cultural events of various kinds take place. I would point out the lack of air conditioning as a negative point.
(Original)
Teatro in stile liberty in pieno centro iglesiente, quindi di grande valore storico. Restaurato, è stato restituto alla comunità in tempi relativamente recenti ed è luogo in cui si svolgono parecchie manifestazioni culturali di vario genere. Segnalo come punto negativo la mancanza di climatizzazione.

Churches & Cathedrals
The Chiesa di San Francesco is a Catholic church located in Iglesias. It is a magnificent example of Sardinian-Catalan Gothic architecture and holds great historical and cultural significance for the city. The exterior of the church showcases traces of Spanish influence, evident in its architectural style. Inside, visitors can admire various religious artifacts, including a figurine depicting a pregnant Virgin Mary. The church also features an intricately lit crib during certain occasions.
Wonderful
Francesco I — Google review
(Translated by Google) The current building from the 16th century represents one of the most significant Gothic-Catalan architectures in Sardinia. Simple facade with pointed arch portal, rose window enclosed by molded frames, shelf with marble sculpture of the pregnant Virgin and two lateral oculi. The very simple interior in which to admire the Altarpiece of the Virgin (mid-16th century) attributed to the Stampacino painter Antioco Mainas.
(Original)
L'edificio attuale del secolo XVI rappresenta una delle architetture gotico-catalane più significative della Sardegna. Facciata semplice con portale archiacuto, rosone racchiuso da cornici modanate, mensola con scultura in marmo della Vergine incinta e due oculi laterali. L’interno molto semplice In cui ammirare il Retablo della Vergine (metà del XVI secolo ) attribuito al pittore stampacino Antioco Mainas.

(Translated by Google) You cannot pass through Iglesias without visiting this magnificent church.
Even though the friars are no longer there, volunteers remain to look after it and thanks to them this place of worship can always be visited.
I recommend a visit during the Christmas period, to admire the beautiful nativity scene.
(Original)
Non si può passare per Iglesias senza far visita a questa magnifica chiesa.
Anche se i frati non ci sono più, a curarla sono rimasti dei volontari, grazie a loro questo luogo di culto è sempre visitabile.
Consiglio una visita durante il periodo Natalizio, per poter ammirare il bellissimo presepe.

Mine
Sights & Landmarks
Miniera Monteponi is an enjoyable place to visit, offering a pool and a welcoming hat making community. With numerous dining, accommodation, shopping, walking, driving, and swimming options available nearby. The close proximity to the sea provides warm beach waters due to the presence of wave breakers that prevent strong tides. It is a fascinating mine with many original characteristics still intact.
It is very very fun. And I like it because it has a pool and the hat making community is very nice and there are a lot of places to eat and drink and sleep and shop and walk and drive and swim. The sea is also close by and it has wave breakers which stop the tide being strong and it makes the beach water (sea water) warm.
Ladenheim S — Google review
Really cool mine to visit. Tours start every full hour from 10 till 12 and 14 till 17h (only in Italian). Since we were the only visitors the guide tried his best to explain everything in English. Beautiful mine with many authentic features left.
Really cool mine, very interesting tour from our guide about the mine's history, minerals, wokers and more. Tour was both in english and italian. Bring a jacket!
Nice visit to the historic past of the mine live in Sardinia, the guided visit is a must (very interesting).
Love this place.It has a lot of history
(Translated by Google) Guided tour full of information and a place where you can still feel the suffering of those who often worked there in extreme conditions. All around industrial archeology to visit.
(Original)
Visita guidata ricca di informazioni e luogo dove si respira ancora la sofferenza di chi ci lavorava spesso in condizioni estreme. Tutt'attorno archeologia industriale da visitare.
(Translated by Google) This place literally takes your breath away. The ruins of the former Monteponi mine are a true journey through time - raw, authentic and moving. Walking among the empty buildings, I felt like I was looking into an abandoned world, where you can still hear the echo of the hard work of miners and the industrial hustle and bustle of decades ago.
Ruined halls, metal structures, rusty equipment and crumbling buildings create an incredible, almost cinematic atmosphere. Nature is slowly starting to reclaim the area, which adds mystery and melancholy to the place. For lovers of urbex, industrial history or photography, this is a must-see on the map of Sardinia.
It was an extraordinary journey - not only physical, but also emotional. Maniera Monteponi is a space that will stay in your memory for a long time. I recommend it to anyone looking for something more than just beaches and resorts.
(Original)
To miejsce dosłownie zapiera dech w piersiach. Ruiny dawnej kopalni Monteponi to prawdziwa podróż w czasie — surowa, autentyczna i poruszająca. Wędrując wśród pustostanów, miałem wrażenie, jakbym zaglądał do porzuconego świata, w którym wciąż słychać echo ciężkiej pracy górników i przemysłowego zgiełku sprzed dekad.
Zrujnowane hale, metalowe konstrukcje, zardzewiałe urządzenia i rozsypujące się budynki tworzą niesamowity, niemal filmowy klimat. Natura zaczyna powoli odzyskiwać teren, co dodaje miejscu tajemniczości i melancholii. Dla miłośników urbexu, historii przemysłu lub fotografii to wręcz obowiązkowy punkt na mapie Sardynii.
To była niezwykła podróż — nie tylko fizyczna, ale i emocjonalna. Maniera Monteponi to przestrzeń, która zostaje w pamięci na długo. Polecam każdemu, kto szuka czegoś więcej niż tylko plaż i kurortów.
(Translated by Google) Impressive mining site in terms of size, rich in history and from an architectural point of view. We were only able to visit the Villamarina Gallery because the other structures have not yet been made safe. The visit lasted an hour. We were accompanied by a very knowledgeable guide who illustrated the various phases of the history of the mine. Don't miss it!
(Original)
Sito minerario imponente per dimensioni, ricco di storia e dal punto di vista architettonico. Abbiamo potuto visitare solo la Galleria Villamarina perché le altre strutture non sono ancora state messe in sicurezza. La visita è durata un’ora. Ci ha accompagnato una guida molto preparata che ci ha illustrato le varie fasi della storia della miniera. Da non perdere!

Italian restaurant
Trattoria S'Arrastu in Iglesias is a charming restaurant located in the historic streets of the city center. With its high-quality frying and delightful atmosphere, it is a must-visit spot for anyone exploring the area. While some may find fault with the small portion size of their roast potatoes and the absence of draft beer, overall, this trattoria offers an excellent dining experience. The extensive wine list and attentive staff elevate it to a five-star establishment.
We had lunch here with our boys (6 and 9) and had a great experience.The boys got fries and fried meatballs and were very happy with them,adults had tagliatelle and ravioli,both great.Service was very friendly.Bonus points for a great play list!Definetely recommended.
Iva J — Google review
Very friendly service and great food. Both the octopus and the Mediterranean red flush I had were very tasty and beautifully presented.
Starter carasau bread with melted goats cheese, nice
House wine, red, normally this cannanau blend is nicer but not here
Aubergine main was a joke. Literally 4 thin slices on a plate as a main!
Absolutely nothing special about the pasta mains either, both disappointing.
Very much overpriced - there are many better options in town
Service was OK, nothing special
Skipped desert as mains were so bad.
Won't return sorry.
When visiting Iglesias city-center S’Arrastu Trattoria is the perfect stop for a meal. I have been there last week with my family for a quick lunch. I came back for dinner the same evening: food quality, wine list and courtesy of the personnel are worthing 5 star. Tip: ask to try some Sardinian sparkling wines, you won’t be disappointed;-) Booking is recommended.
Friendly staff, tasty local cuisine, cozy location!
Very friendly staff, tastefull dishes with an amazing presentation.

The desserts also are incredible

The best pizza I ever had, period.
The best pizza in all Sardinia, I am pizza girl so trust me :) we really like it and if get chance we definitely come back!
Best pizza I have ever eaten. Good variety and fair pricing. Good idea is to reserve a spot in advance.
A really nice restaurant. Had some very delicious (and definitely not typical) pizzas here. Really good food and very nice staff.
A sa matracca you can try super tasty pizza with different kind of dough and very high quality ingredients .
Highly recommended
Best pizza in a long time. Bottom real good and topping delicious.

Overcooked and flavorless trofie, white lamb that tasted like lamb broth with egg. I'm just expressing myself! €80 very badly spent...the only positive side was the waiter who was in the mood to party and that was it...truly scandalous...let's see if they delete this review too.

(Translated by Google) Five stars for courtesy and value for money. Excellent barbecue for two people including grilled vegetables and salad. In my opinion we should propose the offer including drink and coffee and remove the hateful cover charge which no longer makes sense these days. Huge environment, welcoming but sometimes with a stadium atmosphere. But the mirage is a winner. Highly recommended for all budgets.
(Original)
Cinque stelle per la cortesia e il rapporto qualità prezzo. Ottima la grigliata per due persone incluse verdure grigliate e insalata. Si dovrebbe a mio avviso proporre l'offerta compresa bevanda e caffè e togliere l'odioso coperto che di questi tempi non ha più senso. Ambiente enorme, accogliente ma a volte con atmosfera da stadio. Però il mirage è vincente. Consigliatissimo per tutte le tasche.

(Translated by Google) I would give zero stars because they don't deserve anything, since I didn't eat anything. We booked and arrived there at 8.30pm. Staff indifferent upon our arrival. A waitress who was talking to another customer begins to say a number. The somewhat impatient owner tells us that that number corresponds to our table and leads us to the table. After that cosmic nothingness. Nobody approached. The waitresses and the owner went to other tables to take orders, even passing by our table but not us. When 10pm arrived, we were impatient and went. Even though they saw us get up, no one asked us anything or apologized. It may happen that there are delays, it may happen that the organization is not 100% but at least approaching them to apologize for the delay or anything else didn't cost anything

Metterei zero stelle perché non meritano nulla, visto che non ho mangiato nulla. Abbiamo prenotato e arrivate lì alle 20:30. Personale indifferente al nostro arrivo. Una cameriera che parlava con un altro cliente, comincia a dire un numero. Il proprietario un po' spazientito ci dice che quel numero corrisponde al nostro tavolo e ci conduce al tavolo. Dopo di che il nulla cosmico. Non si è avvicinato nessuno. Le cameriere e il proprietario andavano in altri tavoli a prendere le ordinazioni, passando anche vicino al nostro tavolo ma da noi no. Arrivate le 22 spazientite ce n'è siamo andate. Nessuno pur vedendoci alzare ci ha chiesto qualcosa ne scusato. Può capitare che ci siano dei ritardi, può capitare che l'organizzazione non sia al 100% ma almeno avvicinarsi per scusarsi del ritardo o altro non costava nulla
